Booking.com guest review guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).

Trash pickup in the middle of the night. The "bed" for our adult daughter was just a chair that had a pull out single mattress so she wasn't very comfortable.

The location is GREAT and the breakfast was GREAT. We went and looked at the indoor pool. It looked nice and the water was warm but, we didn't use it.

Central air conditioning which we couldn't switch off and it was very cold in the room, but they have very thin quilts in the wardrobe and we were cold.
Breakfast is only for English people, no sweets, no vegetables only some tomatoes, no vegan.
We've paid for the room when booking and it wasn't any information about a floor but when we've arrived a señora from the reception asked us if we'd like to pay extra 25 Euros to have a room with nicer view, we said no and we've got a room on the ground floor with swimming pool view and people sat near our window like in our room.

Good location, big room, big TV, a kitten corner.

The guy on reception was very good but both women receptionists a bit sullen and nowhere near as helpful. Sea View Room should read 'room overlooks pool but you can see the sea through a 10m gap between buildings'. In no way a 4 star hotel either. Noise from the party in the hotels bar on first night wasn't great - lots of loud music until 4am, but it was only one night.

Great location right in the middle of the town, nearest beach 100 yards away lots of choice for eating out on your doorstep. Good breakfast area and choice. Good communication from the hotel before we arrived, really helpful.

We seen much nicer places while there at half the cost so wouldn't stay here again.

Extremely dated decor in need of repair i.e. holes and marks on the walls, hallways etc. You could feel all the springs in the mattress which could well have been as old as the hotel. The noise at night from the Irish pub kept us up a lot and the breakfast was so bad it was a joke. Hardly any options and very poorly cooked, dry eggs, baked beans and not a lot else. We paid a decent amount for breakfast but couldn't even bring ourselves to go down for it on our third day.

The location is the real winner of this place being so close to Balcon de Europa and beaches.

Excellent location, right in the center of Nerja, the lane that runs adjacent to hotel, pool, and restaurants brings you straight to the a very clean beech, we traveled with a group of 13, 5 children and 8 adults, all of us got great use of the pool and staff in the hotel were excellent, we had a wedding and ended up having a drinks party in our hotel terrace, which made it a very relaxing event and impressive, enjoyable holiday.

The towels were a little thin and the sofa bed wasn’t somewhere you’d want to spend many nights.
I won’t complain about the noise as it is right on the Balcón, but 2.30am and being right on top of the bar next door was tricky when trying to sleep and then they start setting up early for breakfast so be warned, room No.3 is a bit noisy.

Great location for a few nights only. I was very impressed with the room (No.3) which was well equipped, clean and spacious. The inclusive breakfast was very good (what do people find to complain about?) Hot/cold foods, hot drinks and juices, fruit...I’ve had inclusive breakfasts which consisted of a banana before.
Lovely little pool.

“Awful.”

• Leisure trip

• Family with young children

• Studio with Sea View

• Stayed 3 nights

I would rarely go as far and call a place awful and I hate to write bad reviews. But this property deserves it without a doubt.
When you are booking a room 2000km away you have to trust what's written in booking.com and trust the pictures. At least that's what I thought. I bookes a studio with a seaview. The pictures presented the place as really nice, with a lot of daylight comming in from the big windows and the terrace. But I was about to find out that it's everything but nice.
Firstly the receptionist was not very hospitable, seemed apathetic and I felt as if I was intruding with questions about parking and where the breakfast was served. In most places you get to know something about the town/city you are staying in - cool locations to visit, intesting places and some local tips.
The second bad surprise was when I entered the room. ( please see the attached pictures ).
It seemed like a dungeon. The ceiling was really low, it felt claustrophobic and dark. At some places the ceiling was 1.5m from the ground. Was this room meant for hobbits ? Also there was no bath in the bathrooms and I could clearly see a bath in all of the pictures when I booked. The pictures also showed me a bright room with high ceiling and not a prison-like half floor space.
I thought that there might be a mistake. So I went to the receptionist and asked what was going on. Again the apathy kicked in and I was told that this is what I have paid for. I asked for another room and then it was made clear to me, that if I want another room I would have to pay for it, but even if I do, they are fully booked and it won't be possible.
At this point I contacted booking.com for a solution. None such was provided. The following day they moved us to a nicer room, that actually looked like the pictures on booking.com . I was not given an explanation or apology . Booking.com offered me 25 Euros as a compensation for having to sleep in a dungeon-like room in sunny Spain.

The location is great and that's about it.

Unfortunately our stay was ruined by a large group who took over the hotel and pool area. They were intimidating and we could not use the pool until our last day. There were two nights were the noise and shouting were so bad we did not get any sleep. Unfortunately the staff did little to help telling us to contact booking.com and telling us they were also intimidated. I feel the hotel had a duty to make us their guests feel safe and they failed. There were too many incidents to list here! We received a generic 10% discount of our bill (along with the other disgruntled guests) and a free meal in the restaurant (which in truth was some tapas which they limited). Our last day was lovely and would have loved my whole week to be like that. It's hard when you save for one week abroad with your family and it's ruined by a large group of obnoxious people.

I was disappointed with the view, which was a side sea view overlooking the pool. From the pictures shown on the site I thought we were to have a front facing apartment. The apartment is dated. The hairdryer was hopeless and I felt the apartment was expensive probably due to the central location. I think the reception area would be more welcoming if the receptionists faced the door. They were always in a little back room working on a computer, therefore you had to attract their attention to let them know you were there.

Location is excellent, in the heart of Nerja.

The room was very badly laid out, only one bedside table and lamp for a double bed. Old built in wardrobe needs ripping out in order to reconfigure room. Cutlery was old and not very clean, nothing to wash up with, no washing up liquid, only 1 wine glass, basically it needs a woman's touch. TV huge = boggle eyes watching it. Antique kettle gets dangerously hot. Super location and with a little more attention to detail in rooms could be a lot better Towels old and worn and bathroom needs updating.

It would have been nice to be able to have a cup of tea when we arrived late in the evening. All shops were closed and the girl on reception said she couldn't get a drop of milk from the kitchen. I don't know why but this tiny request would have made our stay 100%.

Location is excellent ,right on balcon square., near all shops and beach. next to church, Pool area is relaxing. restaurant is lovely.

There was nothing we found fault with apart from the comment re breakfast.

Location of the property was excellent, sea views and also from another part views of the square and quaint church in the centre and just off the ' Balcon ' . Well appointed and comfortable apartments and the breakfast was substantial albeit some of the hot breakfast items only warm. Although no on site parking there was parking available nearby either on street or in a public parking area at a reasonable cost.

The fridge was not as clean inside as I would have liked, but I soon wiped the shelves down, OK.

Our appartment was nicely furnished with a handy kitchette - with fridge, small sink, oven/grill, 2 ring cooker and electric kettle. Lovely light and airy rooms with a balcony. We were comfortable in the lounge/diner, really comfortable sofa. The balcony had 2 wicker style comfy chairs and a similar table. Our balcony had views south and westward across the bay. A handy location for all sorts of restaurants, cafes, bars and as a base if for exporing further afield.

The bed although 'matrimonial' meaning for a couple it was only 140, so rather small for two persons. At breakfast, coffee served could have been better and I missed fresh natural fruit juice.

Bathroom is very big, well equipped and shower is great. Breakfast was very good, with fresh fruits, tomatoes, eggs served in several ways with an incredible seaview.

Breakfast could be improved with some fresh fruit and fresh pastries

The location is amazing, right off the main square of Balcón de Europe. The terrace is fantastic with the view, you could sit there all day enjoying a drink from the terrace bar. Staff were so friendly and helpful

Apartments in an excellent location, two minutes walk from Balcon de Europa, bars, restaurants and shops. Beach nearby. Good sized, clean room overlooking the pool and the sea front. South facing balcony a sun trap. Comfortable beds, kitchenette well equipped. Lashings of hot water. Inclusive breakfast better than expected with reasonable choice of hot and cold food. Overall, good value for money in a very popular tourist area. Underground car park a few minutes walk away (expensive).

1, I could not use the hot water or warm water from the check-in time to the alomost check-out time!! It was cold winter( The receptionist said the problem will be fixed in a couple of hours but I could use it in next morning around 9am which was almost checkout time. They didn't make it up for it and just said "sorry"). Why did they accept a guest when they cleaned up the water tank??!! So terrible service!!!

The breakfast was good. But there comes dirty smell from the drain in the bathroom.

The location is second to none , the staff are friendly and helpful and the price was very reasonable .Cochran's terrace is worth every penny - certainly the best in Nerja . The bar prices were less than some establishments as were the snack and other food prices .

The rooms have not been upgraded for many years & the whole effect is very tired. Sound proofing is wholly inadequate - lots of noise from within the building and from outside (our room was very affected as it overlooked the main square & the noise went on all night). I can think of little to recommend this place.

Not very much really - breakfast was average. lovely view from rear hotel terrace of the sea.

• Leisure trip

The free parking was very limited so we put the car in the car park ( very close 2 mins ) but that was expensive, 45 Euro for 2 days!

The location was great, right on the main square but there was no noise which was brilliant!
1 min walk to all the main areas for eating and shopping.
The bar overlooking the sea was lovely.
The breakfast was a surprise bonus as it was pretty good, lots of choice.
The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped.
lots of nice beaches and things to do in the area.
Both receptionists spoke perfect English.

Hotel needs upgrading/decoration. A sun parasol would not be supplied for our balcony because of wind safety concerns. Had to set our own table for breakfast.

Hotel room although an attic conversion had a large balcony with personal sun loungers, table and chairs plus a magnificent view. Mixture of old & new in locality. Closeness to beach(es). Beach sun loungers & rondavels very reasonably priced for hire when on the beach(es) but book ahead. Good choice of restaurants and entertainment in the town. The hotel had a very large open air bar area overlooking the beach cove.

Only think that affected us at all was Cochranes terrace bar being closed on two days due to weddings.

We loved everything about the Toboso! Only downside would be Cochrane terrace being closed off to residents on Saturday and Sunday due to weddings being held and wedding guests being a little noisy. Fortunately there were plenty of others bars and restaurants within seconds of a walk! Staff and especially the lady who checked us in (unfortunately we didn't get her name) we fantastic friendly and helpful! We were even provided with a packed breakfast to take with us as we had an early checkout!

We had to change rooms after one night because the first offering was damp and had black mould growing in the bathroom and on the walls. The bed was damp and the sheets were damp. We were not offered a refund for this night.
The room facilities were inadequate for self-catering and it was not possible to prepare meals.
There was no car parking.
There was a surplus charge for an infant cot meaning we had to bring our own - not great as most hotels the world over provide this for free. In the end I was glad of our cot as the sheets in the apartment were damp. The surplus charge they wanted would have covered the expense of a brand new travel cot!
The breakfast was mediocre and we were shepherded out of the area at 10:30 every morning, we're not able to finish our coffees or bring them up to the room.

The location is the key selling point of this property.

Not a criticism at all because it was partly our fault, we went down for breakfast the first morning at 10'oclock breakfast finishes at 10.30 and we found that there wasn't much left to eat.
The next morning we were earlier, the breakfast was lovely, and a good choice of everything.

Travelled for a girlie weekend, The location is perfect, the bar overlooking the sea is absolutely stunning.
The hotel / room was very clean and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely stay here again.
